Discrimination between Sedimentary Rocks from Close-Range Visible and Very-Near-Infrared Images

چکیده
Variation in the mineral composition of rocks results in a change of their spectral response capable of being studied by imaging spectroscopy. This paper proposes the use of a low-cost handy sensor, a calibrated visible-very near infrared (VIS-VNIR) multispectral camera for the recognition of different geological formations. The spectral data was recorded by a Tetracam Mini-MCA-6 camera mounted on a field-based platform covering six bands in the spectral range of 0.530-0.801 µm. Twelve sedimentary formations were selected in the Rhône-Alpes region (France) to analyse the discrimination potential of this camera for rock types and close-range mapping applications. After proper corrections and data processing, a supervised classification of the multispectral data was performed trying to distinguish four classes: limestones, marlstones, vegetation and shadows. After a maximum-likelihood classification, results confirmed that this camera can be efficiently exploited to map limestone-marlstone alternations in geological formations with this mineral composition.

Thermal Emission Spectroscopy of Zeolite Minerals
Introduction and background: Zeolite minerals are hydrated framework aluminosilicates common to altered volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks, and the soils derived from them [1]. The mineralogy, chemistry, textural context, and abundance of zeolites provides insight into chemical weathering, hydrothermal, and metamorphic processes on Earth, in a variety of climates and tectonic settings. Zeolites ...
متن کاملModeling near-infrared reflectance spectra of clay and sulfate mixtures and implications for Mars
High-resolution mapping by visible and near-infrared orbital spectrometers has revealed a diversity of hydrated mineral deposits on the surface of Mars. Quantitative analysis of mineral abundances within these deposits has the potential to distinguish depositional and diagenetic processes. Such analysis can also provide important constraints on the nature of putative global and local-scale mine...
متن کاملIlluminant estimation and detection using near-infrared
Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the aim of photographic cameras is to capture and reproduce the visible spectrum (400-700nm) only. Ultraviolet radiation is filtered out by the optical elements of the camera, while a specifically designed “hot-mirror” is pl...

Weeds are regarded as farmers' natural enemy. In order to avoid excessive pesticide residues, the destruction of ecological environment, and to guarantee the quality and safety of agricultural products, it is urgent to develop highly-efficient weed management methods. Amongst, weed discrimination is the key part. There have been a lot of researches on weed detection/discrimination using spectra...
متن کاملVisible/Near-Infrared Spectra of Experimentally Shocked Plagioclase Feldspars
Introduction: Minerals subjected to high shock pressures exhibit structural changes with increasing pressure (e.g., fractures, deformations, formation of diaplectic glass, and complete melting [1-6]). Petrologic and thermal infrared spectroscopic studies have shown that diaplectic glass (maskelynite) formation in feldspars occurs between ~25-45 GPa, while significant melting occurs above ~45 GP...
